Production Scholarships

For four years the Pflasterspektakel Production Scholarship had been awarded by a jury to several artists and groups. The aim was to support the realisation of a production idea with an innovative artistic potential regarding performances in public space. Pflasterspektakel supported the artistic work in street art by providing financial resources (€ 10.000,-).

We’d like to thank all artists who submitted their concepts the past years and wish all of you, who’re still working on the realization of a production idea, all the best for the implementation!
